Summary:
Abandoned at the altar for a second time, the founder of his own computer securities company, Sam Stark is a man unlucky with love. A strong, stoic hunk of a man is also emotionless, resembling a human computer. Stark shrugs off having been dumped at the altar and wants to close the book by settling the catering bill with Desdemona Wainwright. Ironically, she offers to take him to a family theatrical performance on his wedding night since Stark's fiance did splurge ordering hors d'oeuvres. Forging a business relationship based on her catering service, this most ulikely pair become romantically involved. In the middle of their heavy romance Stark and Desdemona are in the when family concerns from both sides interfere, and a murder mystery needs to be solved. Desdemona’s intuition says everything will work out, but Stark may just be the bad news she does not need.
Evaluation: I had heard that Jayne Ann Krentz is a very popular writer so I decided to give one of her books a try and I was not disappointed. It is a light, fluffy read that kept me interested and making a connection to the Desdemona and Sam. Unfortunately the book ended when I wanted more.

This book would make a good beach read or a book to curl up with on a cold, wintry afternoon before a fire, snuggling with my pooch.
